 The implicit reference conversions are:
 
 - A null literal conversion ([§10.2.7](conversions.md#1027-null-literal-conversions)) to any *reference_type*.
-- From any *reference_type* to `object` and `dynamic`.
-- From any *class_type* `S` to any *class_type* `T`, provided `S` is derived from `T`.
-- From any *class_type* `S` to any *interface_type* `T`, provided `S` implements `T`.
+- From any *reference_type* to `object` and `dynamic`. A warning shall be issued when *reference_type* is `System.Threading.Lock`.
+- From any *class_type* `S` to any *class_type* `T`, provided `S` is derived from `T`. A warning shall be issued when `S` is `System.Threading.Lock`.
+- From any *class_type* `S` to any *interface_type* `T`, provided `S` implements `T`. A warning shall be issued when `S` is `System.Threading.Lock`.
 - From any *interface_type* `S` to any *interface_type* `T`, provided `S` is derived from `T`.
 - From an *array_type* `S` with an element type `Sᵢ` to an *array_type* `T` with an element type `Tᵢ`, provided all of the following are true:
   - `S` and `T` differ only in element type. In other words, `S` and `T` have the same number of dimensions.

+
+Note carefully that when `x` is an expression of type `System.Threading.Lock`, the statements `lock (x) …` and `lock ((object)x) …` are treated quite differently. The former uses the `Lock`/`Scope` approach described above while the latter uses the `Monitor.Enter`/`Exit` approach described earlier, as the expression does not have type `System.Threading.Lock` in the latter case, and a warning to that effect is reported.
+
 While a mutual-exclusion lock is held, code executing in the same execution thread can also obtain and release the lock. However, code executing in other threads is blocked from obtaining the lock until the lock is released.
 
+It is a compile-time error to use a lock statement on a value of type 'System.Threading.Lock' in an async method or async lambda expression.
